“2017 marked my 50th anniversary of law practice in Montgomery County. It has been a most rewarding legal career--building and nurturing legal services to the metropolitan business community. My clients and network of business colleagues have been numerous and loyal--almost like extended family. Each day brings new and stimulating opportunities. Never a dull moment.”
